gonna spend the day driving around the delta. Last drop off at 1500 is right at Big Break regional shoreline park. I might just have to go out and scout out some striped bass fishing spots as they have a nice free kayak launch area..

Got a whole 2 hours of sleep last night before the wife woke me saying it is go time. Braved the storm and navigated flooded out streets on our way to the hospital at 3am. But now we're here, she's well into labor, and with any luck I'll be a dad by the end of the day. :eek:

6" of rain last night on top of the 6" we got the past 10 days. No major flooding issues locally, but rivers and ponds are definitely a lot higher than usual.

I dropped my Outback off at the dealer this morning to get something looked at and they gave me a loaded Crosstrek for a loaner. Cute little car and it's got more punch than I expected, although still not as much power as my 6 cylinder Outback. The Crosstrek is also nearly a thousand pounds lighter, which was very noticeable on the highway when the wind was knocking me around. I love that my Outback is such a tank.

Power flickered at work, as soon as I opened my office door. Welcome back!


@slyfink did you make it home or at least back to Ottawa?
Nope. Not yet. Hopefully today. Insurance company has theoretically organized an ambulance transport for me (similar to what @eric strt6 does I guess?) For today at noon. We'll see.

Was transferred rooms last night out of the intensive care unit to the post op recovery unit. The new room has a shower in it. I managed to lean on the edge of the shower and wash my hair! It has been over a week! Feels so good LOL.

I'd had enough of hospital food yesterday so I installed Uber Eats on my phone and ordered a burrito. I also ordered twenty churros for the nursing staff. I also gave some to a neighbour who seems to be Mexican. He made me this beer can flower in return. Amazing.

Took a picture in case it doesn't survive the trip home.

No sponge baths? :brows:

Also does this suggest that your neighbor has beer? haha

Oh yes. Have had plenty of those. They're not as great as they sound. The only thing they can't do with those is your hair though. So I had to wait until I had access to a shower.

In fact, I won't be allowed to take a real shower until three days after the staples have been removed. Which isn't for another 10 days I think. So it's another 10 days of sponge baths. luckily (?) it will be my wife doing it this time....:think:

DAMAGE REPORT.

Final tally 8" of rain. Lots of flooding. Apparently worst flooding since the 70s. My son's school is closed. Tornados half an hour from here. I guess we got luck that we only have like an inch of water in the basement. Dealing with that today.

I was scheduled to work today to cover for someone else who may or may not be actually ill

but then we discovered we had an extra person (who splits time between two sections thus not always input properly on the schedule) working after all, so I don't have to work

I enjoy not working
